By Robert E. L. Naylor
Dr. Stephen Moss is the author of the 11th chapter "Herbicide-Resistant
Weeds". This chapter is a great resource for anyone interested in
herbicide-resistant weeds. Dr. Moss covers all aspects of resistance,
including:
-
Occurrence and distribution of resistance
-
Agronomic factors influencing the development of resistance
-
Resistance mechanisms
-
Cross-resistance patterns
-
Evolution of resistance
-
and the Prevention and management of herbicide resistance.
Dr. Moss is a leading authority on herbicide resistance and I highly recommend
this chapter.

Below is more information about the book that has been provided by Blackwell
Publishing.
Weed Management Handbook updates the 8th edition of Weed Control
Handbook (1990). The change in the title and contents of the book from previous
editions reflects both the current emphasis on producing crops in a sustainable
and environmentally-friendly manner, and the new weed management challenges
presenting themselves.
This landmark publication contains cutting edge chapters, each written by
acknowledged experts in their fields and carefully drawn together and edited by
Professor Robert Naylor, known and respected world-wide for his knowledge of
the area. The sequence of chapters included reflects a progression from the
biology of weeds, through the underpinning science and technology relating to
weed management techniques including herbicides and their application to crops,
leading to principles of weed management techniques. Finally a set of relevant
case studies describes the main management options available and addresses the
challenges of reduced chemical options in many crops.
Weed Management Handbook is a vital tool for all those involved in the
crop protection / agrochemical industry, including business managers,
horticultural and agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, botanists and
those studying and teaching BASIS courses. As an important reference guide for
undergraduate and postgraduate students studying horticultural and agricultural
sciences, plant physiology, botany and crop protection, copies of the book
should be available on the shelves of all research establishments and
universities where these subjects are studied and taught.
Weed Management Handbook is published for the British Crop Protection
Council (BCPC) by Blackwell Publishing.
Professor Robert E. L. Naylor is a consultant in agriculture, environment and
crop protection, based in Banchory, Scotland, UK.
